I've just modded a computer power supply to work as a reliable, high-current lab bench supply. It has -5, -12, 3.3, 5, and 12 V output. Everything's contained in the steel case, complete with binding posts, switches, and a PWR_OK indicator._________________Jason the elite

Chiming in late, haven't been a mamber long. My "Old Reliable" power supply is an old AT style thet I modded the same way years ago. Any time I get my hands on an old computer I remove the AT PS so I have spares later. It's nice to steal the various fans for later use too._________________The only foolish question is one that is left unasked.

I've been looking for a cheap little bench psu but I'm amazed at the prices seccond hand units are fetching on Ebay, there must be more tinkerers out there than I thought.

It's just when there's mains voltages involved I get a little scared, had 240 volts go through me before and dont want it to happen again _________________If it aint broke, it will be by the time I'm done.
